My thanks go out to Kate and Karen for helping me in my first time hosting a swap and what a privilage it is to be a bag lady.

I'm really excited to see what everyone has gotten.

a blow up palm tree

and a cow and frog webkin......ok, they know about these things but have never gotten one.

(Eva grabbed the frog and sammie got the cow)

Here is what they want to say to Karen:

Thank You we love our webkins. Sam says she is naming her cow MOOERS and  Eva is naming hers GREENIE.  Thank for everything We love the lantern, I can use the lemonaid, We love the napkins and plates they are so 4th of JULYie. We are going to put the palm tree in our bedroom. we are going to use the lantern as a nigtlight. we can't wait to sit together and look at the cookbook. Thank you for everything. We bet your dogs are cool, Eva says she has a stuffed animal chuawa.

PS: while we were looking at all the things, I heard the empty box fall to the floor from the computer chair.......... Graycie the cat loves it. she is taking her nap in it. (SHE PAWED AT IT TO GET IT TO THE FLOOR)

Oopps!  I copy and pasted it, but it didn't work out too good!  Sorry Pam.  I love everything!  Beth

Oh Wow - great boxes being received already!!!  If that blow up palm tree is the same one I have, it is so cute.  I use it as a cooler (if it's the one with the pool around it).

Can't wait to read more!!!

no its just a decoration, the girls put it in their room BUT ITS STILL VERY CUTE, the new buzz in the house however is WEBKINS......... spent about an hour doing the adoptions and shopping and dressing the webkins.

I know, Amy.  Maggie got her first webkin this Christmas.  Whatever did we miss growing up?????????????

yeah but they don't get SMURFS........ they roll their eyes when I ask them if they want to make shrinky dinks too. (but my oven does not have a clear door). and they only made one thing in ther easy bake oven.

Amy- My little sister Lacy loves the webkinz- she has several of them and that's all she ever wants for presents.

So are we all going to get these awesome recipes to look at??  Granny Smith Lemonade sounds just delicious!

AMY, you know how happy this makes me?????  Yes, you do.  I think I was more excited than anything for them to receive.  I was so surprised. 

I went to check the USPS delivery confirmation just before leaving work and I was SURPRISED beyond belief; even more so when I saw your post!

I do hope they enjoy everything.  I know you said to just send the same things I would for an adult swapper, BUT I had to tailor it a bit.  As for the Webkins, I figured if you didn't want them to go online with them, they could just have been "stuffed animals".  I hope they liked everything and I am sure the recipe will be easy enough they can do it "on their own" which is what I was hoping for.  Isn't the cookbook great.  I LOVED IT.  Yes, I got one for me too. 

Please tell Samantha and Eva that I love the names they picked out and I am glad they liked my choices.  My daughter LOVES frogs so that is why I chose the frog.  I was going to get two the same but then I changed my mind since the cow was so cute.  I am glad that they are going to use some of the things in their room, just for them.  Tell them that I think they are right and my dogs sure are COOL!  Tell Eva that if she has not named her stuffed Chihuahua, I like the name Toby, in honor of my little man, but if she did name it already, that is okay too!

And I have an even bigger smile after reading about the cat getting her enjoyment from the box too.  But I am sure that you knew I would. 

Wow Beth, you received some great things from Pam too.  Snowcones sound great about now.

Mary, I hope your partner posts soon.  I love to read about what everyone receives.

Amy, I am glad they are enjoying the webkins.  I'm sorry it took an hour of your time, I hope you were done with school!

Peg, I agree, we missed a lot of things growing up when I see the technology now. 

Amy, I have to agree.  My daughter sees the Smurf reruns and the only one excited is ME.  LOL!!!!

Happy Swapping!

 My package was delivered yesterday!!  I know my partner has alot on her plate right now.  Hopefully she will post as soon as she can!!!
